Enough water to float Merced next week?
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2009 10:35 am
According to one website they suggest the Merced needs 200 cubic feet per second for good rafting. Today it's at 75 and dropping.
Is there much point in trying to float down the river in my raft, or are we better just playing in the deep water around Stoneman Bridge? We'll be there Sunday-Wednesday.
Driving out last Saturday it seemed a lot of people were floating in tubes in the lower end of the valley, past the official Sentinel Beach raft take-out. Is the river deeper there?
